We Love Kennebecs

Thanks to everyone who came out to our grand opening at The Brig last night! We gave away a lot of cookies and only had a few servings of rajas left (the night's big seller) before we sold out of our lumpy, yet delicious, Kennebec potatoes.

Kennebecs have a nice dry texture and high starch, which equates to a nice and crispy fry (no offense to the steak fry crowd, but we prefer fries with some bite). We soak the freshly-cut fries in water to wash the starch off the outside and pack more moisture into the fry so the inside is a little fluffier. At the end of the day, our fry bins are coated at the bottom with silky white potato starch... quite soothing on hands puffy from french fry cutting!
